Re: Possible Major Evidence of Tunnel To 76TH STREET!

As I mentioned in reply to Union Tpke's post, I suspect the K5/K6 connectors were built as far as the north side of Pitkin Av, with the mainline tunnel construction circa 1940. There may well be some continuing of A7/A8 to the east as well, but how far is very unclear. Your theory that they don't go further than Conduit Blvd is plausible.

I still think we don't know how far the mainline construction actually went. Perhaps the city waited to get the easements for the yard leads until they were actually necessary, but the cut and cover construction under Pitkin Av is entirely in the city's purview and likely could have been done without any trace remaining in the tax records.
